Interview Insights

Writer's picture: Mike DiGregorioMike DiGregorio

Looking to switch things up in your next interview? Use this question:


"Can you describe a situation where you faced a significant challenge in your previous role? How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?"


This question serves multiple purposes:


  • It asks for a specific example, encouraging candidates to provide a concrete narrative that demonstrates their problem-solving skills and resilience.

  • It allows you to assess their critical thinking and adaptability by understanding the strategies they employed to overcome the challenge.

  • It provides insight into their ability to work under pressure and manage difficulties, which is valuable in almost any role.

  • It can reveal their capacity for self-reflection and learning, depending on whether they discuss what they learned from the experience.
